With an OM Zuiko having an angle of view of a 2x focal length lens when
mounted on the E-1, there aren't any OM Zuikos usable for wide angle shots.
A number of people have run into exposure issues particularly when shooting
wide open.
A slow lens isn't very easy to focus manually although Walt replaced his
focus screen and claims he can focus the 500/8 Zuiko on his E-1 (which I
have trouble focusing on an OM).
A number of people have been very happy with long telephoto lenses used on
the E-1. I was quite pleased with the results given with a Tamron 400/4 +
1.4x teleconverter.
I think it really comes down to a marketing position.
C*non seems to have gone forward with the position that their old film based
lenses will work on the new digital SLRs but...

Heelloo,
I wonder why using 35mm lense with 4/3 dlsr isn't recommended. I just
wanna know the technical detail like 35mm lense angle doesn't work
well with 4/3 aperture ? or the image from 35mm lense is not correctly
aligned in 4/3 ccd ? ....It's must be a hard problem to fix so that
olympus abandoned the OM lense line. ?
